Top 10 Travel tips for travel to Belize - Jon Lenaerts and Al Romao

1. Bring several pair of sneakers and sandals
2. Cash is important for minor purchases and daily tipping to guides. We never found a use for Travelers cheques
3. Bring Soap and Shampoo
4. If you get car sick, Dramamine is suggested. The roads are rather bumpy!
5. A Protector for film for your camera so that the scanners at airports do not warp your film
6. Bring a couple of bathing suits, as it is always damp and humid...Wet clothing does not dry very fast
7. Change of attitude. Things are of a much slower pace in Belize. Chill out mode is recommended and a must
8. Sleep in the jungle can get some getting used to, the birds and animals are very loud so turn in early to get a ful nights rest because you WILL be up early
9. Trust your guides, they are trained in what they do and the best in the country
10. Travel with as little expensive items as necessary (Jewelry, watches, rings, necklaces)
    
    

This is the Top 10 Travel Tips from Jon Lenaerts and Al Romao who traveled to Belize in November 2005.

Guest Comments from John and Susan Keller, Boston, USA

Thank you all for being such wonderful hosts and hostesses.

Susan and I both thought the service and food were excellent but more importantly, that each of you was genuinely friendly and welcoming. You were a big part of our enjoyment of the trip.

Stay well and again thank you!

Top Ten Reasons to go to the Dome...

10. "The Dome" makes you think of your jungle adventure / the people you met in Belize and not a stadium with a Astro Turf floor.

9. You actually can appreciate the jungle outfit you bought from REI or Orvis and not feel like an employee at Disney's Animal Kingdom. I highly recommend a long sleeve, dry-wicking shirt and long pants. Mine were made of light-weight, nylon and they were great.

8. When you hear the name Gonzo, you think of your great guide in Belize, not the character on Sesame Street.

7. Your dog will seem much cleaner and not smell so bad after you see/smell Max after one of his joyful romps thru the jungle, rolling around in god-knows-what.

6. You'll realize that rain gear is not that important in the rain forest. Just wear a hat and clothes that dries quickly. Getting wet actually will become really "cool." Light rain or occasional thunder showers are not a problem!

5. It's the bed & breakfast, like staying with friends and family experience in the middle of an amazing rain forest, Mayan pyramids nearby, and lots to see and do. Go to Tikal. Do the zip line. Explore the caves ATM and Che Chem Ha.

4. You'll look forward to the wonderful pool-side home-cooked meals instead of getting lost trying to find a good local restaurant or ending up eating at an overpriced tourist/hotel restaurant. The chats we had with other guest and staff (especially Karen and David) were the best part of the Dome experience!

3. Two words: "No Worries." Just go and have fun. All-inclusive is the way to go. Karen and her staff will take good care of you. Gonzo and his crew of drivers and guides are professional, knowledgeable, and experienced. We felt safe the entire time in Belize!

2. When you hear someone mention "ATM," you think of Actun Tunichil Muknal (ATM) cave, and not an Automated Teller Machine. If you are willing to hike, get wet, wade/swim, climb a bit and squeeze/crawl thru a few tight spaces, do this tour!! We weren't going to do this initially because I don't swim well, but Gonzo brought life vests and ropes to pull me thru the deep but small pools. Wear closed-toed shoes (boots/tennis shoes/Keen/Merrell) and socks. Yes, they will get soaked but you'll be glad you're wearing sturdy shoes on the slippery rocks. In the upper chamber, you have to take your shoes off and wear socks to protect the burial chamber from your feet perspiration. I am glad other guests and Karen recommended this tour. It was definitely a highlight.

And the number one reason to go to the Dome:

1. Your eyes will light up when someone asks you, "Did you go somewhere on vacation?"

Honeymoon Vacation in Belize - Charles and Jennifer Doran

Our Belize Jungle Home at the Belize Jungle Dome

The trip to Belize was more than just a Honeymoon. It was an experience of a lifetime. While both Charlie and I have traveled a portion of the globe, neither of us had visited Belize before this week. Now, seven days later, we are already thinking of when we can come back.

So what has made our visit so outstanding? The people. Everyone at the Jungle Dome is courteous, friendly and not only knowledgeable but helpful as well. Simone, Andy & Karen are pleasant to talk with and share interesting stories with. Gonzo is the greatest tour guide anyone could ask for.

As for our adventures, ATM rocks this world! Absolutely stunning. The Black Hole Drop was challenging but fun and the cave tubing was relaxing. All tours were educational and enjoyable and we would do them a second time if we were here longer. This would be a great place to bring a group of high school students or a youth group.

OK words can’t truly do justice for this place. Aside from Jen’s comments above, which I agree with completely, Wani, Tea and Nora have cooked up a storm and David & Wilbur deserve much praise as well. The staff here has done wonders in making us feel like a part of the Jungle Dome. It has been a comfort to come back from our adventures to our Jungle Home. Perhaps a name change is in order? Thanks again for a wonderful time here in Belize

Guest Comments from David Rhein, Brookline, MA, USA

Had the vacation of a lifetime here! Tikal, cave-tubing, Che Chem Ha and kayaking the Mopan were all spectacular. Carlos, Gerald, Gonzo & Henri are fantastic tour guides and make the extra effort to make the guests comfortable and keep them informed about the people, birds, animals, plant life and culture of Belize.

David from the Jungle Dome leads great jungle hikes and I am officially declaring him the King of the Kinkajous! I enjoyed watching the young school kids who dropped in to say hello and occasionally sing the Belizean Anthem. After dining here each night I would consider staying here just for the food!

Thanks Karen for your patience with the planning details and to Andy and Tom for being so welcoming.

Words are not capable of explaining how wonderful our trip at Belize Jungle Dome has been. All of our guides were amazing and we were in awe of the incredible places we visited and the wildlife we came across.

The staff have also been wonderful and there again, no words can explain how delicious the food is and how fantastic everyone is. We will definitely return again and again. A delightful place with a brilliant staff and memories to last a lifetime.

It was a pleasure.
